Drill music; Chicago has a new sound. Far from that of the Chicago Juke sound of the early 2000’s, we now have the windy city churning out 808 heavy-beats gracing tracks that off one may swear were from the dirty south. Chief Keef has to be the most notable from the Drill scene, but don’t forget the females

Chi-town Drill Princess Sasha Go Hard recently dropped her latest mixtape, Hip Hop vs. Love, with fellow rapper Ill Will (of the group M.I.C.). With a harsher side showing in her previous releases, Glory Girl and Do You Know Who I Am?, I had to find out the inspiration behind this tape, the real deal behind working with Ill Will, and her plans for her next solo mixtape due in January

Rap Genius: The title of the mixtape is Hip Hop Vs. Love, so I had to ask — are you a fan of the show Love VS Hip Hop, or where else did the title come from?

Sasha Go Hard: We had continued to do songs about two people. You know, I guess he’s [Ill Will] a guy and I’m a girl and we just put our situations together as one and came up with some about relationships. So, when we had talked about the mixtape name, a lot of the stuff we talk about in the mixtape is love, and we’re putting the love situation in music. Somebody had told us to make it Love Vs. Hip Hop, and I’m like, nah, that’s a show. So that’s why we flipped it

RG: It’s interesting you did the record about relationships. What’s going on in your love life now?

SGH: Um. (Chuckles) As of right now, I’m not in a relationship, but I have a friend. You know, we communicatin', go out and you know do things friends do. It’s hard being in a relationship, being a female rapper. You’ve got to be strong to deal with that, cause a lot of jealousy issues come up

RG: Was it easy when you went into the studio, was it easy to build up chemistry with Ill Will?

SGH: Yeah. The first song we ever did, I connected with him. He a nice looking guy (laughs) and he is super cool. All of M.I.C. is super cool, but there was just something about him that made me want to work with him more. We built a relationship, and as time passed and we started working together, we started getting to know each other

RG: On the track “No Feelings,” you said “Got a whole boyfriend and he cheatin so/Matter fact don’t give a f*** who know.” I really felt the aggression come out on that one. Where did it come from?

SGH: It took me back to a relationship I used to be in and how my old boyfriend used to cheat on me. I just thought about it like, I just took that out on my man. So it’s just like basically feeling, I just didn’t care at the moment. That moment that situation had came up with me and my man and I’m like, you know what, I don’t care.

RG: I heard a little singing on “I Can Be”. Can we expect more on the next solo mixtape coming up in January?

SGH: I want to say yeah, because I do want to get into singing a little bit. Iain’t gon be no Beyoncé, nobody like that. I do want to get into changing my flow up. I don’t want to be just rap. But I doubt there’s gonna be a lot of that on the next mixtape. I’ll probably have a lot of features. Cause you know my next mixtape has to be super dope. I want everything to just be perfect. And I know I still have to keep practicing singing, until I get where I’m tryna be

RG: Do you know already how your next mixtape is going to be different from Glory Girl and Do You Know Who I Am, or are you still in the process of working through it?

SGH: Right now I’m still in the process of working through it, because like I feel like I want this mixtape to be not like the other ones. I want it to just drop and people to be like, man this is crazy. So, I am just taking it one step at a time to plan things out, to say this is what I want this to be and this is how I want this to sound. So, right now I am taking it slow and planning it. I know it’s gonna be huge
